Just wanted to say this...

Thanks.

Thanks to Isinona who's incredible videos, such as "scourge" and "smuggler" really showed me what this game is and could be about and inspired me to ignore that high price tag. Thanks to that CMDR (Of which name i can't disclose due to name & shame) who flew with me on the first time i ever opened the game back on the 11th of November 2014, I'll never forget that Cobra and sidewinder coalition we flew together in the rings of Anahit near freeport. Thanks to Kornelius Briedis, which not only was an inspiration, but a mentor that i quickly grew fond of, hauling gold from Kuntae to LT-13125 in my ASP besides his rather massive Anaconda. Thanks to Neon Raven, the fastest and stealthiest freelancer in the galaxy. Thanks to those who found the Luxury Trading, and to those who flew it, only barely missing my python with their imperial clippers and Type-9s, I've never seen so many dock at once and it was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had in gaming. Thanks to those who hauled Cargo at Yembo to make history, where we collaboratively managed to construct a starport in New Yembo, starting an unprecedented expansion into space. Thanks to Obsidian Ant, which was the first one to ever show me how absolutely awesome the ADS was, and probably the spark that ignited my love for exploration. Thanks to CMDR Erimus & Dr. Kaii respectively, for their (at the time) absolutely amazing exploration logs, which i still re-watch occasionally today.

But more than anything, thanks to all of you! Who not only has shared their tips, screenshots etc. but also given me something to compete with, not that i'm remotely close to some of you (*COUGH* Allitnil *COUGH*).

I'm sitting here at Jameson Memorial a station which i've grow quite fond of since i first gained access to it soon 2 years ago, and i'm looking at my ship.
Over 2 years of exploration, 600k lightyears, 18000 systems...
I've shared so many great experiences with this ship, and it has been by far the one which has survived the longest out of any of my ships. And now, as it has finally set on me, that after all this time i'll finally lose her, there is only one thing left to say;

Distant Stars or Bust!
See you in the black commanders!

hehe, very well written and inspiring thread.
I was also a Beta backer and a miserable 47th to reach Elite, so you have me whipped there, although I think I might be beating you on number of ELW's first discovered :)
Will try and add you in game if that's ok with you, as another friendly green dot when out in the black is always welcome :)

You might very well be doing so!
Might need to step up my game in that regard :p
 
Nice to read this :)
We have been to a similar number of systems (not logged-in so can't be certain) but it took me a number of ships to achieve that - congratulations on your piloting skills ;)
